Another win for Maughan, Downer against Zuma
The Pietermaritzburg High Court has granted journalist Karyn Maughan and senior state prosecutor Billy Downer an enforcement order preventing former president Jacob Zuma from taking further legal action against them.
The matter relates to Zuma's private prosecution of the pair.
He accused Downer of leaking his medical records to Maughan in his corruption case.
And launched an appeal after the high court in Pietermaritzburg ruled in their favour in June, setting aside Zuma's bid to prosecute them, deeming it unlawful.

Maughan and Downer asked the court not to suspend its previous judgment amid Zuma’s application for leave to appeal.
The matter was expected to continue on Friday, but Downer and Maughan’s presence in court would no longer be required.
